Lot A
We are delighted to offer 14 Downside for sale for the first time. Built originally as a farm workers cottage for a nearby farm, the cottage now requires a scheme of renovation and modernisation throughout but offers a great deal of scope and potential to create a lovely home, subject of course to gaining any of the necessary consents.
The cottage is approached from the road to the north via a large area that has previously been used for off road parking. This area has recently been cleared a suitable surface would be required before it can be parked on but offers ample space for several vehicles.
On the ground floor there is an entrance lobby with doors leading to the bathroom, kitchen and then in turn to the first reception room. This is a light, dual aspect room with an open fireplace with a tiled hearth and surround. A door leads through to the original entrance hall with a door to the garden, stairs to the first floor and door to the second reception room which, again, is a pleasant room with an open fireplace.
On the first floor there are three bedrooms, two being double rooms and the third a large single.
Outside
There are two useful stores to the rear of the property.
The gardens lie to the front, side and rear of the cottage and extend to approximately 0.36 acres. They are currently completely uncultivated and offer a blank canvas for any buyer to be able to put their own mark on the space.
Lot B
The Paddock
Guide Price £40,000 to £60,000
Immediately adjoining the garden is a paddock of approximately 1/2 an acre of pasture and copse that will be offered to the buyer of the cottage at a fixed price of £60,000 immediately on the fall of the hammer for the cottage. If they do not chose to exercise this option it will be offered as a separate lot.
The paddock benefits from direct access from the public highway to the side and, subject to gaining any of the necessary consents would be suited to a variety of uses including garden extension or small holding. It is enclosed by a combination of post and wire stock fencing and mature hedges. It is predominantly level in aspect with a slight incline towards the eastern boundary and the copse.
Planning
Lot B will be sold with an uplift clause of 25% to last for a period of 80 years. Further details will be contained in the legal pack.
Completion
Completion for both lots has been set for Thursday 25th April 2024, or earlier by arrangement.

Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
